Welcome Stranger
2016
Welcome Stranger is a naturalistic sci-fi short about an alien adrift on earth. With a gaping hole in his chest that no one seems able to see, he relies on an ill-advised instruction manual about human behaviour to guide his attempts to connect with others.
This short is a meditation on loneliness. The grief of heartbreak knows no narrative and no ending, just glimpses and fragments and trying to put meaning on experience.
